This is the Smith Log cabin home. It was so fascinating to see where this family lived and worked.
There is a frame home down the road, but I didn't get a picture of the outside. It was pretty amazing. We saw the hearth where Joseph his the golden plates from the mobs. It just made it all so much more real.
This is where Joseph saw the Angel Moroni standing above his bed.
The Palmyra Temple is so close to their house!
Another thing I did't realize is that the Sacred Grove was so close to their house.
We had a special experience in the Sacred Grove. Since it wasn't tourist season we were the only people there. Each of the kids could go and have a special experience by themselves.
We watched a movie about the first vision and it was just amazing.
This was the visitor center for the Hill Cumorah.
We had to hike a little to get there, but it was at sunset and was just beautiful.
It really just made all of what we have learned about the restoration of the gospel so real.
We didn't have time to get to the Priesthood Restoration site before it was dark. We still got to see the monuments that were placed there to make it. Such a great experience!
